Tenders for Section V of the Chennai peripheral ring road, covering the stretch from Singaperumal Koil to Poonjeri, have been cancelled. The Hindu reported that the decision was taken for administrative reasons, without providing further details about the tender process or the project’s next steps.

Tenders for Section V of the Chennai peripheral ring road have been cancelled, The Hindu reported. The affected section runs from Singaperumal Koil to Poonjeri. The report attributed the cancellation to administrative reasons.

No further explanation of those reasons was provided in the supplied material. It also did not state whether a fresh tender would be issued, when that might happen or whether the cancellation would affect the planned delivery of the road section. The decision concerns the tendering process for the identified stretch of the peripheral ring road.

Details about the number of bidders, the value of the tenders and the agency responsible for the cancellation were not included in the report. The Hindu’s account therefore establishes the cancellation and the stated administrative basis for it, but provides no additional information about the project’s timetable or subsequent procurement arrangements.
